That doesn't necessarily matter. It's true for quite a few Python
constructs that many Python programmers use without knowing every
little semantic detail.

If you don't use .send(), .throw(), .close(), the semantics of "yield
from" are very simple to explain and remember. All the rest is there
to make advanced uses possible.
